A question for lawyers

2024-02-21 Thread John Clark
I don't know if there are any lawyers or accountants around here but I have
a question. The Alabama Supreme Court has just decreed that frozen embryos,
and even fertilized egg cells, are legally children, some people have
dozens of them and if all of them are children then couldn't they use them
as tax deductions? I also wonder if ALCOR could now legally insist that the
frozen adults they have in their care are patients and are entitled to the
same rights and privileges that hospital patients have.

Shock, anger, confusion grip Alabama after court ruling on embryos

Groq, a chip optimized for AI

2024-02-21 Thread John Clark
You should take a look at the website Groq  , in it you
can try out both the AIs LLama and  Maxtral, I think  LLama is better but
neither of them are as good as Gemini or GPT-4, and the Groq Company does
not make either one of them because Groq is a hardware company, they are
the first to make a chip that was optimized from the ground up to work with
large language models. The amazing thing is not the quality of the answers
but the incredible speed of delivery. The company is trying to demonstrate
the superiority of their chip and I think they've done that, the only
reason they didn't use Gemini or GPT-4 in the demonstration is that they
are not open source, but LLama and Maxtral are. They have the potential to
give Nvidia some strong competition. Incidentally Elon Musk has come up
with something he calls "Grok" but this has nothing to do with that, in
fact "Groq" has threatened to sue Musk if he doesn't change the name
because they're so similar.

But that graffiti was drawn about 400 years before Muhammad was born and
